I went to First Friday Adoration and prayed with the following words of St. Mother Teresa.
I hope you will read her words slowly and take them to heart.
Prayer
Jesus wants me to tell you again how much love He has for each one of you beyond all you can imagine.
I worry some of you still have not really met Jesus—one to one—you and Jesus alone.
We may spend time in chapel—but have you seen with the eyes of your soul how He looks at you with love?
Do you really know the living Jesus—not from books but from being with Him in your heart?
Have you heard the loving words He speaks to you?
Ask for the grace; He is longing to give it.
Until you can hear Jesus in the silence of your own heart, you will not be able to hear Him saying “I thirst” in the hearts of the poor.
Jesus Himself must be the one to say to you, “I thirst.” Hear your own name. Not just once. Every day. If you listen with your heart, you will hear, you will understand.
Never give up this daily intimate contact with Jesus as the real living person—not just the idea.
How can we last even one day without hearing Jesus say “I love you”—impossible.
Our soul needs that as much as the body needs to breathe the air.
If not, prayer is dead—meditation, only thinking.
Jesus wants you each to hear Him—speaking in the silence of your heart.
St. Mother Teresa
I will leave this with you to ponder in your heart.
